The hill stations of Kerala are majestically situated
thousands of meters above sea level and are invitingly
cool. On the windward side of the Western Ghats of
Kerala there are long chain of lush, mist-clad hill
stations. Rising to an average height of 1520 meters,
the tropical forests of the Ghats houses rich flora and
fauna and expansive loamy plantations of tea, coffee,
rubber and cardamom. All the hill resorts in Kerala
offer the most enchanting experience of nature in all
its virgin beauty. There is no better place than
Kerala's hill stations to cool off. These are the
perfect place to enjoy the cool evening. Strewn across
the mist-clad valleys are quaint colonial cottages and
bungalows that exude an old world charm. Where massive
stone walls, warm wooden floors and fireplaces evoke the
grandeur of the colonial past. Where life has not caught
up with the pace of the present, the ruthless rocks
reach up the sky and endless tracks
run through deep jungles. The gurgling streams amidst
forests, breathtaking waterfalls and trout filled lakes
are all there in the hill stations in Kerala. The hill
stations of Kerala are the ideal playground for the
adventurer in you.
